Ok... its time for before and "after"

So I finally decided to post before and after pictures. I HATE the before pictures, to the point of not wanting anyone to see them... but oh well, its time.
Hopefully it will motivate someone to get off their *kitten* and start moving
I say "After" in quotes, because I still have a long way to go. I still see myself as that fat guy in the mirror. I want to lose another 4-5% Body fat before I am done. (I am at 16.1% BF, as of last week)
Stats: 5'10'', I started at 222lbs, and dropped to 191 and am maintaining (not trying to lose anymore, just trying to tone)
So... here are the before pics:
And here is what I looked like on the beach yesterday. (Note, I only adjusted the COLORS with GIMP, not any muscles/fatness... haha)

CONGRATS. HUGEE HUGE difference
but my question to you is: since you obviously work out a lot, do you find that eating more of your exercise calories is better?
I feel like the body needs them, so i try to eat mine back, but some girls are like afraid of eating or something, so they don't. What worked for you?0 -

I eat mine back....well, the majority of them. If I'm 100cal shy, I don't mind (now that I use a HRM anyhow).
Avalonis, you look great brother. You started out just a little heavier than I did, and your maintenance weight is a good place to start toning up.
Awesome job man!0 -

PS-Be careful where you're stickin' your thumb. I'm sure I'm not the only girl (married or not) who made this face when she scrolled all the way down: :blushing:0 -

Bahahaha. Isnt that the idea?
I wanted to show off my ab lines, obviously!
In my defense... I have no pockets on those shorts. You're just lucky I didn't get them wet... as you'll notice they are white. 0 -
